Shredders

FAQs

What Types of Paper Shredders Are Available at Office Choice?

At Office Choice, we offer the following types of paper cutters across different brands: 

• Micro Cut Shredder 

Micro cut shredders are perfect for destroying private or personal documents. Also known as the security-cut shredder, these machines cut paper from both corners of the page diagonally. The cuts lead to extremely small, square-shaped pieces, making them impossible to read.  

• Cross-Cut Office Shredder

Ideal for those who want to securely shred sensitive documents, cross cut shredders offer more variety when it comes to shredding. Make sure to check the product description to know exactly which security level our shredders offer. Since these tend to cut the paper into smaller pieces, there are also fewer bag changes with every session. 

• Autofeed

Shred high volumes of paper automatically with these shredders. Simply feed the paper and complete another task while the machine does all the shredding for you. Most of our auto feeder options also come with a manual setting, so you can switch between the two if you’d prefer.

• Mini Cut 

Ideal for maximum security, these shredders have a shred size of 7mm. With some of our options offering 100% jam-proof technology, you can easily shed hundreds of sheets of paper in no time with this office shredder. 

• Strip Cut

This is the classic office shredder that is perfect for cutting up CDs, magazines or documents that aren’t meant to be privately disposed of. We offer a range of strip cut shredders at Office Choice, whether you’d like something that can take anything from 20 sheets a day to upwards of 100 sheets a day. 

Can Paper Shredders Handle Materials Other Than Paper?

Yes, some office shredders can handle items like credit cards, paper clips, and staples. However, not all shredders are equipped for these, and models vary in their capabilities. For safety, avoid shredding laminated paper, stapled documents (unless specified by the shredder model), hard drives, cardboard, and electrical products

What Are the Benefits of a Cross-Cut Shredder?

Cross-cut shredders are ideal for security. Boasting a security rating of P4 and above, most of our cross-cut shredders are perfect for highly personal items that require shredding, like credit cards, identity documents and sensitive information, thanks to its diagonal cuts across both sides of the page. This type of cut makes it impossible to retrieve information back from the shredding machine. 

What Is a Strip-Cut Shredder Used for?

Strip-cut shredders are perfect for basic usage, like shredding newspapers or extra documents. These shredders are ideal for home use due to their low-security rating. 

How Do I Prevent Paper Jams in an Office Shredder?

Are Auto-Feed Shredders More Efficient?

While auto feeders are generally slower than manual feeders, they do allow you to be handsfree as your machine gets rid of documents. It also takes a fraction of the time to load versus a manual shredder. Auto feeder shredders are ideal for heavy usage, while manual feeders are good enough for usage in home settings. 

What Are the Advantages of a Portable Shredder?

Portable shredders are easy to store, can be used across different locations and can help you maintain security when it comes to your printed data. Explore the range of options available at Office Choice today. 

What Makes a Desktop Shredder Convenient?
